[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 409930, member: 6546"] novangel-- I think you need to give him a reason to comply - no I don't mean you have to explain yourself each and every time you have a simple request - I mean as in: we keep the volume down on the TV out of respect for other people. If you cannot use the TV respectfully - you may not use it at all. Then when it is too loud...you ask him to turn it down. If he does? Great! If he does not? You shut it off! Lock the electrical cord with one of those mini padlocks that can fit right through the prongs. He yells, screams has a fit? You say - well maybe next time you'll use the TV more respectfully. Wait a couple hours... Plug in the television and try again. He'll think twice before disregarding your request to turn it down. If he ignores you anyway? Shut it off again! [/QUOTE]
